Is it a simple way to increase or scale all the ambient values i put in my
finish statements (for all my objects) ?

  Actually yes. For example, if you want to double the ambient values, you
can type:

global_settings { ambient 2 }

  If you want to halve the ambient values, you can type respectively:

global_settings { ambient .5 }

-- 
main(i){char*_="BdsyFBThhHFBThhHFRz]NFTITQF|DJIFHQhhF";while(i=
*_++)for(;i>1;printf("%s",i-70?i&1?"[]":" ":(i=0,"\n")),i/=2);} /*- Warp -*/

And don't forget, the color vector can be adjusted as well:

 global_settings {
  ambient_light <1.2,1.45,1.6> //skylight
 }

From the DOC:
Ambient = Finish_Ambient * Global_Ambient_Light_Source
The global ambient values are multiplied with every individual ambient
in each finish.

	You have two answers on global settings but I have not found
that satisfactory as yet. Get your assumed_gamma to match your
monitor first. 

	Then any vector can have a global change by x.y*<a,b,c> that
works for ambient, camera location and so forth. 

	Also if you find colors odd with light changes try ambient
<a,b,c> where <a,b,c> is the same as the color of the object.
